Keeping the Learning Going

It has been a long time since I have posted, but it doesn't mean the learning has halted. I can't say enough positive things about the online book club for Fifteen Fixes for Broken Grades that I have been facilitating as well as participating within. I am so honored to work with great colleagues and teacher leaders across the county. Together we can make a difference in the educational systems in which we work. Change is hard and many times is something that is avoided. These teacher leaders that I am working with are embracing the change and leaning on one another to push their thinking about these changes that need to take place in our schools today. They also are offering support and ideas of how they are thinking about things and what they are doing in their classrooms. It is amazing what a small group of dedicated teachers can do to make a difference for the students they serve.

Professional learning networks are powerful learning opportunities that teachers and administrators can participate in. My challenge is to find additional ways to bring county wide teachers and administrators into these online professional learning networks.
